After a warm October it was nice to have some solid cold fronts come through and push some big fish into their normal fall/winter spots. Cooler temps also brings some warm lunches for some of my foodie anglers…

As many of you know I’m not big on miss leading people into booking with me. I’m all about being as truthful as possible in order to manage expectations. With that being said… This October was by far the worst October I have ever experienced. It wasn’t a shock considering the water temp pretty much […]

Starting in mid November and going through mid March is what I consider Sheepshead season. Not to say there are not sheepies here through the year it’s just easiest to fish for them during these times. This is due to the fact the water in the oyster ponds tend to get very clear during this […]

Although most of our customers come down in the fall to target redfish there are many other opportunities on fly… Foster has caught many big redfish on fly so he wanted to do something different. I was all about it… We started in redfish areas passing on “most” redfish to target alligator gar and drum. […]

September is when we start getting very busy. Although the big fish have not moved into the shallows we are still able to target them in open water with the weather permitting(reasonable winds and sunlight)… This will continue usually through mid October when a good cold front pushes the bigger fish shallow. Although we have […]

In November the Louisiana Marsh is known for having big red fish. But Mile Haines couldn’t pass up the opportunity and made a great cast on this trophy sheepshead while it was tailing for crabs. – Captain Jim Dietz

Starting from the top… Cindy came down and for the 3rd year in a row, nailed some great fishing. This time was especially good timing because we were fishing the redbone, which is a non profit tournament held to raise money for cystic fibrosis. Well we got the big one! 34 lb 46 in red […]

Had a day off, so what did I do? Went fishing, of course. And man it was cold. Captain Ryan Frederick and I managed to put a few in the boat before heading back to the warmth of the truck. Fun day!! – Capt. Paul Lappin

Had a chance to fish with Gary Ellis and Brower Moffitt for the Redbone Tournament benefiting cystic fibrosis. What a great cause and what a fun day on the water with these two characters. – Capt. Paul Lappin

Great 3 days of fishing with Kevin George. These guys had plenty of shots on big fish and plenty of funny stories to fill me in on. Great times and great guys. See you in key west fellas!!! – Capt. Paul Lappin

Although we were still dealing with some water clarity issues, we were able to make it to the cleaner outside areas on most days. There we found large singles, schools of spawners (15-20lbers), and even the occasional Jack. On the windy days we stayed inside chasing tailers in the shallows and even got this nice […]

Early this September was probably some of the best fishing I have had in a while. It was by far the best September fishing I have ever experienced. This was immediately followed by some of the worse weather which in turn made for some very difficult fishing. Here are some fish we put in the […]

This winter season has been pretty good, to say the least… We have had great shots on singles, doubles and sometimes even groups of 10 or more 20+lb Red Fish. This makes the double possibility jump way up. I even got to get in the game and hook up with this 35 lber with one […]

Although this is a late report, I had to let people know about what kind of luck you can have as long as you keep booking… Kevin and Tejal started coming down to fish in Louisiana about 3 Years ago and although we had some semi-productive days, we still had to work hard for them. […]

Here are some good ones from November and early December… I have to say congrats to Mike Birge on not only catching a 32 on a popper but more importantly getting on the Sheepy board!!! No easy task… I also have to mention Jeff Stang”s personal best 38 lb red which is also still standing […]

As long as the weather allows us to get out on the water the big fish have been waiting. We have seen big fish floating, pushing, and even tailing, which is somewhat rare for us. It has been very windy recently but as long as you get the fly in their face they usually eat […]

The fishing has been good! The big fish have moved in and even on cloudy days we have been sticking some really good fish. As long as the weather is somewhat consistent the fish have been very happy… Here are some pics to prove it…

It is that time of the year when the shrimp boats are holding massive black fin and yellowfin tuna. We didn’t hook a yellowfin on the fly on this day, but a 20+ lb blackfin was certainly a battle on the 12wt. The redfish have been schooling in certain areas. The schools mostly consist of […]

I’ve had the pleasure of having some women anglers on board that were willing to attempt some record breaking. We did it but come to find out you haven’t done anything until you document. Tejal and Kevin were the first group to attempt the record and although Kevin caught 2 that would of done it […]

November was an absolutely incredible month as usual. We had both single big girls floating around in back bays and schools of males busting under birds on the outside edges. It’s crazy how much different these fish fight and look. The males under the birds don’t have the size of the females but they make up […]
